Designed in 1852 following Urcea's victory in the Third Caroline War, the arch was adopted as the first of several major building projects in Urceopolis during the Aedanicad. Funded personally by King Aedanicus VIII, two years were spent looking for a location before the triumphal arch was constructed in Oldtown in Urceopolis in the plaza in front of the Praetorium. The arch was opened to the public on March 1st, 1859, with a mass celebrated under the Arch which was followed by a parade of veterans, lead by the last surviving veteran of the War of the Caroline Succession. In the opening ceremony, King Aedanicus formally adopted the agnomen ''Carolinicus'' in line with the tria nomina system adopted the year before.
